Who Would A Canadian Atheist Jew Vote For In US Election?

I figure, why not get interested in the Presidential race since it takes up so much room on the cable news shows I watch daily, and also, since I don't watch baseball anymore, and the Sopranos are done.

I know for sure, I'm going to blog my ass off if one of the three stooges who put their hands up when asked if they didn't believe in evolution, ever become serious candidates.

So I found this site called SelectSmart.com and here is of candidates in order of those that agree most with my answers to the quiz:

As an aside, I'm noticing the David Duke fan club is really rallying around Ron Paul. He is definitely out in my books thanks to that. I'm glad he appears close to the bottom of my list. The stooges all show up on the bottom half of my list (Brownback, Tancredo, and Huckabee).

That's some overt 'guilt by association' you did there. I can understand if Ron Paul asked for his support, but there's nothing he can do if it is just given. Hitler hated communism, does that mean I should like communism?

If you need a good reason to not support Paul, do it because he supported the 911 truth movement.

There are 26 plus contenders right now. For David Duke and the rest of the white supremacists to pick Paul is very bad against Paul. Knowing what I know about Duke and white supremacists, I don't even have to look into Paul's platform to know I would disagree with him.If you look where Paul was found on my list, my theory is confirmed.But I do understand both your points. If this was a two or three horse race, your points would be very valid.

"Knowing what I know about Duke and white supremacists, I don't even have to look into Paul's platform to know I would disagree with him."

In other words, you're saying "Don't bother me with the facts. Knowing his supporters is an adequate substitute."

If you want to disagree with Paul (and most likely with me, since I regard him as vastly preferable to the other candidates and would rank Hillary Clinton very low) on any substantive issue, I can deal with that. But when you evaluate a candidate on the basis of his supporters, you write yourself out of any rational debate.

Gary, I understand my error. But again, David Duke has 26 plus candidates to support or not support.There is some validity in what I'm saying, since what Duke stands for politically is not what I stand for.

That said, I do agree with Paul on certain issues. He seems to want a complete stance on separation of church and state even though he is admittedly morally opposed to things like gay marriage.

But he seems very weak on his understanding of radical Islam to the point of being a Dhimmi.

I also think that a case can be made to make many illegal aliens US citizens, but I agree that border security should be tightened against those who wish to live in the US illegally from here on in.

I also think security should be high with respect to terrorism.

The USA is the worlds policeman right now, and I think the world is better off in general because of it.

Biden was my second-highest too. First was Edwards, but I'd never vote for an ambulance chaser like him. My problem is that I favor a small national government and state's rights, but no one runs on that platform any more...
